In its second decade plan, IR pledged its commitment to education, outreach, and capacity building. By investing the time, energy and resources necessary to build a successful Education and Outreach program, InterRidge will ensure that its message of responsible exploration and discovery of the world’s deep ocean is heard by students, the future stewards of the environment worldwide; policy-makers; and other members of the general public. The hope is that reaching out, educating and motivating people to learn about the mysteries of the deep sea – a place few will ever see in person – will engender a healthier respect for the Earth system at large.

InterRidge Theoretical Institute (IRTI)

The Theoretical Institute provides lectures and workshops, gathering scientists around the world. Strengthening international collaboration, it encourages networking of young scientists. The last Theoretical Institute was held in France in 2019. We hope to have our next InterRidge Theoretical Institute (IRTI) during the summer of 2023 in Korea (perhaps in Jeju Island).
